Some of the ideas presented on that slicker site look really innovative. The card based clipboard really sticks out in my mind. That is such a natural representation for having a multi item clipboard I am surprised that I have not seen it done before. It would especially excel for having items such as images on the clipboard.

I am glad to see the work done to make sure slicker has a well thought out api. I would love to see slicker merged into kde for 4.0.

I would also love to see cards to be used on other thigs as well, like at the point k3b might get integrated to the system it would show the status of the burn on a card, also audio players could use a card to show off and generally any program that has a updating (live) status screen that does not need user input (frequently) should have an user-selectable (via radiobutton on config) option for showing status on a card and/or using the same cards-system used in the konqueror side-bar.

Hi,
I'm a member of the slicker group, not a developer, more of a dweller/idea person. The re-design of teh core is going well AFAIK, but slicker will be shipping with only a default set of cards (To be decided), we are thinking of creating a second project for cards (so cards and slicker-core don't get confused, and so core developers can work more efficiently) and any cards/ideas will be very welcome. If you have anymore questions regarding slickere, either mail tehm to the ML or join #slicker on freenode.

But thanks for all the nice comments and keep a look out for slicker in future, we're back!

Nice work. I'm looking forward it to when I start programming with C++ (should be until the end of the year).
It will be great to develop GPL programs and being able to run them both on linux and windows.

Is anyone really using KDE on Cygwin? Shame on me, but I had much trouble installing it (and it is kind of slow, of course). Unfortunately it is not as easy as installing any other cygwin package.
Why is that?

The e-mail address slicker@leinir.dk now exists and is open for your Slicker logo competition submissions. The e-mail address did not exist, and I had just changed the rules for recieving e-mail. But that has been fixed, so send away people!
